Fernandes said: “Yesterday my son was playing football and he was telling me he was Szoboszlai. He calls himself every player anyway, but when he said Szoboszlai I was like; ‘What?!’”
The comments went viral and were picked up by Szoboszlai, who replied and joked: “Gotta admit, your son’s got good taste @brunofernadnes8.”
Fernandes then responded by praising his rival, saying: “@_SZD10 Great taste for sure (winking emoji). If he learns to kick the ball like you then I will be very happy.”
Fans seeing the exchange online were stunned, with one saying: “Games gone rivals flirting with each other. Roy Keane must be fuming rn.”
